Easy Refried Beans (Refritos) image

These yummy refritos are made from canned red beans for quickness and convenience. I think they are a BIG step up from regular refried beans out of a can!

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons bacon grease
3/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 small finely chopped seeded jalapeno
2 (15 ounce) cans small red beans, one partially drained
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon cumin
salt
pepper
2 drops liquid smoke (optional)
3/4 cup shredded monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend

Steps:

  • Melt bacon grease in a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium heat; add onions and jalapeno; cook and stir until tender; add beans a half-can at a time, stirring to incorporate; add seasonings to taste.
  • Cook beans, stirring frequently with wooden spoon and mashing them (use the back of the wooden spoon or even a potato masher) as you go, for 15-20 minutes until liquid evaporates and beans thicken; top with cheese and serve.
  • NOTE: If you like your refritos especially smooth, run them through the blender or food processor before cooking.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I like to add my own twist by adding some chopped onion and cilantro.
